I know this is contrary to Avid's suggested configuration, but in my experience daisychaining with my 003... self-powered drives don't work well when first in the chain.

Re: Focusrite Saffire 56 with PT9
But I didn't daisychain. The Saffire is hooked up to the back of my MacPro, and the HDD to the front port of the Mac.

When you put the drive behind the Saffire, then it's powering the drive rather than the Mac's FW bus.

Re: Focusrite Saffire 56 with PT9
Okay, I see. Makes sense.
What doesn't make sense is, that the FW bus of the Mac is overstrained by giving juice to a 2.5" hdd. However, I'll try putting the drive behind the Saffire. Need to get another 400 to 800 cable for that. Thanks, Dism!

May I ask why you are using a self-powered drive on a Mac Pro considering you can stack up several internal drives with much better performance results? The only situation I use self-powered drives is when I'm in a very mobile situation and power supply is in question.

It's inconvenient though, because sometimes I would like to save a session copy directly out of PT to that drive. Being as it is, I always have to save the copy on my internal drive, close PT, switch off the Saffire, connect the external drive, finder-copy the folder, and then everything vice versa.

Hopefully you have better luck chaining it.

Re: Focusrite Saffire 56 with PT9
Just an update for anyone having "runtime errors" I downloaded a program called Fixcleaner and it worked really well...I tried a few different reg. cleaners with no improvement but Fixcleaner did it for me!!
